Constraining the Equation of State via heavy ion collisions at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory
=Abstract=
Nucleus-nucleus collisions provide the only means to experimentally probe the nuclear Equation of State at supra-saturation densities and determine how it depends on density and on the isospin asymmetry d=(rn-rz)/ (rn+rz). The first SpRIT TPC experimental campaign at RIKEN has provided constraints on the EoS and other transport phenomena at densities of approximately r»1.4-1.5r0. These results have recently been combined with other experimental and astronomical measurements to constrain the EoS at densities of 0.2r0<r<3r0. Despite this progress, open questions remain. We plan to investigate some of them during our new experiment at the RIBF facility measuring collisions at higher incident energies.
